Officials overseeing the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, an arm of the federal health department, used millions of dollars from the fund to pay for unrelated salaries, administrative expenses and even the cost of removing office furniture, according to the findings from an inspector general investigation of a whistleblower complaint shared with The Washington Post.
The unidentified whistleblower alleged that officials wrongly dipped into the money set aside by Congress, beginning in fiscal year 2010 and continuing through at least fiscal year 2019, spanning both the Obama and Trump administrations.

My comment:  Detail is missing in the report, but the result would appear to have helped to make the fight against the coronavirus even more difficult than it needed to be.  When you add the hands-off incompetence of the government after the emergence of covid 19 you have to wonder about the people we pay to run the country.  Come back integrity and forethought!
